Hi I only have 3 nuts in my drivers side front wheel so when I got new tyres on they said that 1 of the holes the nuts wont tighten up. So can anyone tel me if I have to change the full hub?

There bolts not nuts Rolling Eyes . Did you have 4 in each wheel before having your tyres changed? If you did the they probably cross threaded one when they fitted your tyres, So they should fix it.
You will need to change the hub and wheel bearing or get a complete second hand hub assembly and swap it over yourself. I would try running a thread cleaner/tap through it first and get get a new bolt and try that.

easy, not sure about the abs though because mine don't have abs.

not uncommon seeing damaged hubs due to those stupid people using air tools to over tighten the bolts.
